  • Dr. Maqbool is an excellent doctor. He takes the time to communicate with my child and listen to my concerns. He makes sure he answers any questions I may have and never ends the appointment before he is sure we're on the same page. He remembers things about my child from visit to visit making a connection with him so he is comfortable in his office. He is always thinking of things from all angles to assure he isn't missing anything with my child's care. I am confident in him and his work and I trust him and his medical advice fully. I wish more doctors were like Dr. Maqbool.

  • Dr. Maqbool seemed very concerned with my son's issues and ordered every possible test in order to assess his current condition. He appeared confident and experienced and worth trusting with my son's care. He seemed happy to coordinate with oncology, endocrinology, and liver teams to ensure the best treatment.

About the Patient Experience Rating System

The Patient Experience Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions shown above from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. We are committed to true transparency. However, to ensure the comments are fair and correctly attributed, we review each one before posting to the website. We exclude entire comments that disclose patient’s protected health information, are off-topic, or include other confidential or inappropriate content. Comments will appear on provider bios only if providers have a minimum number of comments. Comments are shared internally for education purposes to ensure that we are doing our very best for the patients and families for whom we are privileged to care. The comments are submitted by patients and families and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not reflect the views of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
